My Advice on Coming Out

By Oscar Leigh · Mar 8, 2016 · 708 · 3
  1. My advice on coming out would be to not care. If people you care about don't accept you, you should consider moving on. the obvious problem being parents. Don't tell parents who majorly won't accept it until you're independent, otherwise you end up on the street or at least very unhappy. Everyone else though, fuck 'em. I'm barely experienced with bigotry, so I could be underestimating the aggressiveness of people, but to me, you may as well tell people eventually. Even if you don't particularly trust them, whatever. If they do something to you, that's their fault and they get punished. "Be yourself. Everyone else is already taken."-Oscar Wilde
    Thank you for your time. Hope you have a good day. :blowkiss::blowkiss:

    I for the most part agree with this. But I'd also like to add my two cents. First off, I'd like to say the following has nothing to do with people knowing my sexuality. Honestly if it's a stranger or a friend or something it's just really whatever to me. Like suck my dick mate. Really. Still, I never have had to really "Come out" to anyone. It's not like I've really ever had to say "I'm gay/bi/aro" what have you. It's usually just something casually observed through my actions and accepted. Like me commenting on how hot a dude is or something. I'm not really ashamed of it, like I mean whatever I fuck who I want when I want. Anyway with my parents though, which to me is the closet thing I have to a "coming out" story, (or well Mom to be specific). I was more like shoved into a metaphorical corner where plausible deniability wasn't an option anymore and forced to admit yeah I like dudes to her.

    Which I would like to mention I would have avoided for AS LONG AS POSSIBLE.

    It's not even so much that she's like actively hateful or anything. Like I still live with her and stuff, she's just really religious lol. And that makes it really awkward for me. Like the day after the admission she's like "so you're sure right?" and I'm like "Yes" and then she goes on her god spree. Or turns on the radio to some christian station where they're condemning gays to Hell and I'm like "Okkkay mom. I get it. Gonna burn. Please move on now"

    So my advice is: Don't care, but be smart about it. Be proud of who you are but also know that sometimes it's just easier to not say anything. Lol I don't even see a reason why Coming Out is a thing. People will see you're significant other at some point and then they'll know. No need to shout it from the rooftops just cause you're different or whatever. Cause biology mate. Straights dont go "I'M STRAIGHT!" Gay's shouldn't either. That's just me though and sort of a different topic. I also think I'm sort of rambling and not making sense cause it's like 2am here in Cali and I'm getting fucking tired as balls.

    I agree. I did say don't tell if it's too inconvenient to handle. If that person will be a bit horrible. So yeah, don't tell everyone necessarily.
